Pre-Conference Pastor & Congregational Continuing Education Event
October 3, 2019
8:30am-11:30am
In the Scandinavian Cultural Center, Anderson University Center
You’re invited to join this time of conversation, connection and shared ministry moments together!
Focus of this time will be to review the content of ELCA Social Statements on Abortion (1991), Human Sexuality: Gift and Trust (2009), and Faith, Sexism, Justice: A Call to Action (2019) and to discuss their implementation/impact and current issues congregations are facing in terms of gender and justice in their congregations. It is meant to have both presentations of the content and then provide questions and conversations and resources that allow our ELCA constituents to ask the questions and discuss the issues that are most pressing to their churches right now. We may also have representatives from Extraordinary Ministries and Reconciling Works present as ELCA-focused ministries. We welcome members of other denominations to join for this session – to see what has been happening in the ELCA and to discuss their own churches work on these same issues.
Please contact Kendall Jeske, the Director of Congregational Engagement, with any questions or for more information!
